Impressionism is the art movement started in the late 19th century by French artists who captured' scenes or subjects by strokes of unmixed colors to give the impression of reflected light.
Claude Monet is one of the most popular artists belonging to this art movement.
Specifically, Monet paintings are popular for their garden scenes; he painted large paintings of water lilies and other flowers.
Monet influenced art by trying to convey his personal outlook on the landscape scenes or events he painted. Monet was the most important of the artists who allowed their initial impressions of landscape scenes to stand as complete works.
As mentioned, Monet was very much into light and how this affected the texture of his subjects. As such, he would paint the same subject over and over under the changing times of day.
An example is his painting Rouen Cathedral, Full Sunlight. Other notable works include Autumn Effect at Argenteuil 1873, Nympheas, Impression: Sunrise, and more!
